How come Trigun always gets left out of 90s shonen nostalgia? Zoomers on instagram love to go on about 90s aesthetics of evangelion, berserk, akira bebop and GITS but i never hear anyone talk about Trigun even though it was pretty decently big here when the anime started getting translated. I heard theres a remake coming so maybe thatll change it
How come Trigun always gets left out of 90s shonen nostalgia...
I'm more happy that it didn't get big as the rest. It's a monkey paw wish imo to want it to be popular- anything popular just turns into shit discussion wise.
I guess thats true. It's surreal to see Guts and EVA 01 in clothing stores again, definitely very weird that Ive been fans of those series long enough to see them become trendy retro
>Zoomers on instagram love to go on about 90s
Go back and kill yourself
even unpopular things are attacked by the current shitty taste of Any Forums
>being on instagram
>following zoomers and caring about what they post on top of that
That shit is legit even worse than reddit and fecesbook and these two websites are already fucking shit. If anything it's good, not bad, that they don't know about Triggun I don't want to share fanbases with subhumans that define their personality with memes.
Everyone was watching Outlaw star and Bebop instead, they were busy with those or one of those to get their space western fix.
Mostly I've seen it in custom T-shirt stores. But yeah- anime is normal now, even though it'll never be normal in my head, surreal is the best way to put it.
True, the volumes more manageable though for actual discussion to still happen
Im gonna cast doubt on more people watching Outlaw Star over Trigun, but thats just me. I was barely 9 when trigun was on
Trigun was never as good as nostalgiafags made it out to be. The only reason we still talk about it is because aired alongside cowboy bebop in burgerland. This was 20 years ago, long before western anime fans had standards.
Aesthetics not as good as the ones you mentioned
I really wish the first half was better
I live in a big NA city, I see more anime merch now than I'd ever seen growing up. Theres an urban outfitters near me and theyve got Berserk, evangelion and akira merch , weird to me. I mean i guess all those series are milestone anime but still
Am I remembering wrong or did Trigun only really even get big because of the anime airing on toonami? I thought Japan never really gave that much of a fuck about it compared to contemporary series
Thinking about how these dogwater tier games made an entire identity just around copying trigun aesthetic
I always wonder when people say this, is that the case in the US or Brazil? I literally only know one single person that watches anime in real life and only because I met him in an anime forum 15 years ago.
Manga sell rather well, but there is no presence they have outside of comic/manga- and book shops and there is no merch anywhere.
I'm pretty sure the space western aesthetic is no where near as popular
Trigun is and was a meh tier at best.
Outlaw Star is easily the most obscure of the three 1998 space westerns
nta but in the US you can find anime merch all over the place. If you ever go to a shopping center there will probably be at least 1 store selling anime shit
It blew my mind when I passed by one of these stores at my local mall and they were selling t shirts that had Junji Ito's cat manga on it. Like that's a pretty obscure thing to make a shirt out of
Why do you follow zoomers on instagram then coming on here to bitch about it? Are you stupid or something?
I was mainly going on the basis of what was on UK tv in the early 2000s come to think of it.
They didn't air trigun , but they aired outlaw star.
Just realized Gun X Blade is like 2005. Always felt that it really was one of the shows that wore the influence of the three on its sleeve. Was about to mention that one though.
Man I've been watching anime for a long time
Dawg zoomers *love* junji ito hes not obscure at all anymore, he totally used to be but your average nerdy goth girl will have a stack of tomie books
Same. I'm old enough seeing covers for these make me weak in the knees
Possibly, it's not like I was there. All I know is that Trigun was THE anime that taught to be be particularly wary of anything americans remember fondly from TV of that era. There were a lot of duds, but the nostaglia is off the charts. Trigun being the prime example.
